The national selection for Eurovision this year has gained media attention, particularly due to presenter Gabrielė Martirosian's exquisite dress. The fabric for this striking gown was personally sourced by Martirosian during a vacation in Oman with her partner, Vaidotas Žala, right before his significant victory in the Dakar Rally. This personal connection to the fabric adds a layer of narrative to her appearance, making it a focal point of the event.

In her social media updates, Martirosian shared insights into the creation of her dress, including a video of her selecting the fabric in the store. The fabric features a sleek black color with intricate, delicate gold details, which were designed by Odeta Strasevičiūtė, a renowned designer. Martirosian, playfully naming the gown "Miss Oman," emphasized her affection for the piece and its significance, particularly as it represents her journey and experiences leading to the national selection.

This year’s national selection is competitive, featuring 40 entries vying for the chance to represent Lithuania at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2026, to be held in Vienna, Austria. With such a strong visual and emotional component showcased through Martirosian’s dress, the selection process not only highlights musical talents but also the cultural narratives tied to the event, drawing public interest both in Lithuania and the Eurovision community.
